Stokkermill eddy current separators enable efficient recovery of aluminum proler from materials originating from solar panel recycling. Thanks to a high-speed magnetic rotor, they are able to accurately separate aluminum fractions, even small ones (1–300 mm), ensuring clean, valuable material and optimizing the efficiency of the entire recycling process.

Our MFS Eccentric Separator is a highly advanced separation solution designed for the efficient and selective extraction of non-ferrous metals during the recycling of end-of-life solar panels. Thanks to proprietary technology, the device guarantees high efficiency, reliability, and minimal maintenance, ensuring the quality of the recovered metal fractions.

Why use it in solar panel recycling

•    Selective target: accurately isolates
aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous alloys, even when mixed with glass or plastic materials.

• Integrated system: fits perfectly into automated recycling lines alongside crushers, delaminating mills, densimetric tables, optical or magnetic separators.

• Continuous process: designed to operate 24 hours a day with minimal manual intervention, supporting high productivity and cost optimization.

•    High environmental performance: contributes to exceeding 99% weight recovery of components, reducing the environmental impact of end-of-life panel management.

Key features

•    High separation efficiency: recognizes and selectively diverts non-ferrous metals from the main stream of shredded or delaminated materials.

•    Low operating costs: low energy consumption and durable components significantly reduce maintenance requirements.

• Modularity and flexibility: suitable for existing or new recycling lines; can be sized according to the hourly throughput and nature of the incoming material.

•    Compatibility: handles materials ranging in size from approximately 1 mm to 300 mm, allowing even very small parts resulting from crushing processes to be processed. ‍

Function in the photovoltaic module recycling line

1.    Preparation and loading The panel (intact or already cut) enters the automated system.

2.    Primary shredding/delamination The layers (glass, EVA, silicon, metals) are separated using XRS delaminating mills or similar.

3. Separation of non-ferrous metals The device selectively identifies and removes metals such as aluminum and copper from the flow of other materials.

4.    Refining and storage The remaining fractions (glass, EVA, silicon, plastic) can then be further processed with densimetric tables or optical separators before being stored.

Key benefits

•    Maximum resource recovery: clean, high-quality metal materials ready to be reintroduced into the industrial supply chain.

•    Operational reduction: no manual removal of the aluminum frame required – reducing time and costs.

• Environmental sustainability: recovery of over 99% by weight of total materials, minimizing waste and environmental impact.

•    Energy efficiency: a low-consumption process with high operational continuity.
